llms.txt is a plain Markdown file at the root of your domain that gives AI systems a short, structured guide to your site: what the business does and which pages matter. Are you found by AI? does not offer it as a separate tool page. It comes with the scan instead:
- Free scan: “A starter llms.txt in every free scan, written from your site.”
- Full report: “The full report generates the complete file.”
There is no standalone llms.txt generator page on areyoufoundbyai.com. If you have an old bookmark to a generator URL, use the free scan instead.
The open-source route
If you would rather generate or check the file yourself, the open-source thl-open suite includes two ways to do it:/geo llmstxt https://example.com. See Claude Code Skills for installation.
The llms.txt format
The format below follows the spec bundled with thegeo-llmstxt skill. A valid file starts with an H1 title, then a one-line blockquote description, then at least one H2 section of page links:
- [Page Title](absolute-url): Brief factual description. Descriptions should state what information is on the page, not marketing copy. Use full https:// URLs, never relative paths. Keep the blockquote description under 200 characters.
Where to host it
Publish the file at the root of your domain:public/ or static/ root folder.
A longer companion file, llms-full.txt, can hold the complete page inventory with longer descriptions. Link it from the ## Optional section of your main file.

Does llms.txt guarantee that AI will recommend me?
No. It helps machines understand your site, but a website change does not guarantee that an engine will recommend you. Measure the answers again after you publish it to see whether anything changed.
